Each month, we take two super-useful kitchen skills and put them together to produce one delicious recipe. This month, we’re looking at quick clever ways to chop garlic and how to master a basic Bechamel sauce.
This classic white sauce is a fantastic base for all sorts of recipes, from fish pie or mac ‘n’ cheese, to a classic parsley sauce and, of course, lasagne. We’re making Jamie’s Good old lasagne with our two skills – it’s rich, creamy and incredibly tasty. Plus, you can bulk out your Bolognese sauce with extra seasonal veg, if you have any that needs using up.
